So according to the CEO of Target, the boycott in May was MORE dangerous to his employees than the George Floyd riots. I'm sorry, I must have missed all those conservatives looting and burning Targets to the ground. https://t.co/qVnvrediV2
Target's CEO lies about their partnership with the Satanist designer who made graphics including "trans is alchemy." https://t.co/rcDIHpOKak
He said it's not true, but y'all remember the truth. Target CEO falsely claims Target did NOT team up with Satanist designer, sell Pride merch for kids https://t.co/dhXLQxNt4x
Do you think the societal effects from covid resulted in the George Floyd protests/riots being significantly more chaotic and violent than they would've been otherwise?
